NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO SEE THE WHALES IN HERVEY BAY

WORLD HERITAGE ICON

HOME OF AUSTRALIAN FISHING

Say hello to the Fraser Coast, Queensland.

We are proudly home to some of Queensland's greatest icons - World Heritage-listed Fraser Island and the exclusive coral cay of Lady Elliot Island at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. At the heart of our region, Hervey Bay is centrally located within the UNESCO recognised Great Sandy Biosphere and rightly claims the title as whale watching capital of Australia, if not the world.

Inland, you can explore the heritage charm of one of Queensland's oldest provincial cities, Maryborough. With wide stretches of coastline, islands and a hinterland covering more than 7000 square kilometers, there is time and space to drink in the beauty around here without feeling crowded or rushed.
